"I cannot put into words how easy it was to purchase my new house. There was constant communication, and I felt like Brent and his team had my back every step of the way. Everything was done online, so there was not driving back and forth, or lenghty meetings. Closing was the only real time event and it was so smoothe. I look forward to working with Brent and his team long after this sale to help keep my new house in perfect condition. Thanks so much, Brent and team!"

"My experience with NEO Home Loans was top-notch. We had a very short turnaround from property choice to closing and this team made it feel seamless. The communication throughput was proactive and timely. Brent took the time to walk me thru all of my questions thru each phase and the entire team was 5-Star. Our closing attorney (out of state), even made the comment that in here 25 years in the business, this was the best Mortgage company she has ever worked with."

"Working in the real estate business myself, I interact with dozens of lenders every month. In my experience, the best lenders are the ones who proactively communicate with their clients and the realty teams serving them. After all, communication fosters action, and keeping things moving forward is integral to a smooth closing. Brent Willis is one of those lenders. With Brent and his team, I never have to guess where we are in the financing process. I already know, because they proactively communicate every step of the way. This not only provides peace of mind, but also frees up my time because I don't have to chase anyone down for an update. Brent also does something not many lenders do anymore: he will take the time to educate clients and Realtors on the specifics of the home ownership process. Not just during the contract-to-close phase, but guidance and information for after the sale concludes. This puts him in rare company, and easy to recommend."
